So my readers (yes, that’s you, you lovely person) have been asking me for a LONG time now to make a recipe index. And I’ve put it off and put it off and put it off… and what do you know? The longer I put it off, the more work I have to do to…

Garden Update! Everything’s Exploding! Oh, My!
So every time I take photos of the garden and then forget to post them, by the time I remember (even 2-3 days later) the garden has changed so much again that I have to take NEW pictures. That happened a couple times, and then this past week it was rainy and gloomy for several…
Week 29 – Letter to Baby
Once again, allergies have hit me HARD this week and it’s hard to feel photogenic and smiley when you can hardly breathe!!! This took a LOT of makeup to cover up my under-eye circles from hardly getting any sleep and red nose from all the congestion & nose-blowing. ha. I think I managed to look…
A-Freaking-Mazing Artichoke Dip
A while ago, I posted another recipe for artichoke dip, but let me tell you – this one blows that one out of the water. This one is thicker and richer, thanks to the cream cheese, and it also has a zing of flavor from the seasonings I added. This one is also grain-free (the…
Low-Carb Snacks : Homemade Baked Cheese Crisps Recipe
I’ve probably made these 100 times already. They’re so delicious, easy to “customize,” and quick to make. They’re great to snack on when you’re in the mood to “munch” but carrot sticks just aren’t cutting it – these are full of protein and fat and (depending on your cheese) zero to few carbs. They’ll satisfy…
Breakfast Casserole (With Chard if you Want)
Note: You probably won’t drool at my pictures much, since I was cooking this at 9:30 at night and taking snapshots with my phone… but you can skip over to the link to the original for pretty ones. Sorry I didn’t deliver this time! Inspired by Pastor Ryan’s Eggs Florentine casserole… basically I looked at…
“Real Food” Grain-free Gluten-Free Muffins/Cupcakes
So recently, I’ve been going through my internet bookmarks trying to sort things out – deleting bookmarks, and clipping things to Evernote (which OMG I am LOVING by the way). And I came across this recipe for Nut Butter Muffins on Grain-Free Foodies. Well I’ve had a jar of almond butter in my fridge for…
Week 28 – starting the Final Stretch!
I just finished my “baby note” but have to run to the post office and then to work, so I’m not writing much here… like the way this one turned out though! I might have to edit it a tiny bit later, because the d in “and” is almost touching my nose which bugs me…
Week 27 – Crazy Pregnancy Dreams
Seems like not much happened with the pregnancy this week, but when I looked back to write my note, I realized the baby is getting bigger, more active, and more intrusive. haha. I’ve been having to get out of bed to pee, which I don’t appreciate, and sometimes she pushes so hard into my ribs…
Snip and wash. And my Velvet Dog
Our dog gets really puffy … well, maybe not puffy, but kind of… shaggy. And thick-furred. And if it’s warm out, she gets HOT. And then little bits of dirt get trapped in her fur. So eventually… We bust out the clippers and give her an all-over haircut. Nothing fancy.. No fading or different lengths…
Primal Braised Beef Short Rib Recipe
One problem I tend to have with a lot of meat recipes is the sauce… so often recipes call for bottled sauces loaded with sugar, or soup packets mixed with ketchup and coke (not even kidding), or various other gross-sounding concoctions. So for this braised beef short rib recipe, I decided to just wing the…
How Does My Garden Grow?
Last year, I promised I’d be better about updating y’all on my garden. And so far, so good! My iPhone definitely helps – I can snap photos on it, edit them using my new favorite app, TiltShiftGen, and upload them with the (not so smooth, sometimes buggy) WordPress app. Then I just come over to…
